Chapter One

When I fist seen this book I thought, great this will be the perfect way to waste my summer, but as I started reading I couldnt put the book down. I can tell everyone else feels the same way from the comments in their posts as well. The book is surprisingly interesting and written in such a way that the meaning is easy for anyone to understand. Unlike textbooks there is no fluffed up scientific chargen, it's all meaningful and simplisticaly written and still in a way that the emotions of the writer are shown through. As he argues with his partner I was able to feel his frustration and as he found the fossils I felt his excitement. This chapter was able to frame up the work of serching for fossils so well and expose me to a moment in history that I never knew exisisted. The subject of evolution and the science behind it has suddenly become something real as the narration is able to paint a picture of the stuggle and work behind the uncovering of the past.
